Trump's federal worker buyout offer restored by judge | LiveNOW
A federal judge cleared Trump’s deferred resignation program aimed at downsizing the federal workforce.
.
U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. in Boston found a group of labor unions didn't have legal standing to challenge the program, commonly described as a buyout.
Labor unions had challenged the plan, calling it illegal and unfair, but the judge ruled they lacked legal standing.
.
The deferred resignation program, also known as the administration's "fork in the road" offer, asked government workers to stay or leave after Trump required them to return to their offices shortly after his inauguration. The legal group Democracy Forward had filed a lawsuit over the program on behalf of labor unions that represent thousands of employees.

In a statement to Fox News, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the decision "the first of many legal wins for the President."

Elon Musk supports offering financial incentives for federal employees to quit.
